Hampton on Second Career

Kenora-Rainy River M-P-P Howard Hampton says a change in the eligibility criteria to access the provincial retraining program Second Career will prohibit many from participating.

Hampton says the changes announced in November would drastically limit the 130 individuals now participating in the program through Northern Community Development Services.

Universities and Colleges Minister John Milloy says the changes announced in November will actually lead to an additional 8-thousand people across the province being now eligible for Second Career.
